Pros:

Works really well at diminishing pimple size and helps reduce redness. Much less acne after a week or two.

Cons:

If you don't take it with food it can make you sick, possibly poop out blood.

I have been taking Zinc for about two weeks now and it already works great. I would take this for the rest of my life if I have to.

Pros:

makes zits smaller, fewer, and faster-healing this took about 3-4 weeks to start working. Then I tried upping the dosage and started getting symptoms of iron deficiency. I'm a long-time vegetarian (borderline vegan), so I think i need zinc.

Cons:

can cause anemia if iron absorption is a problem, can cause nausea if taken on an empty stomach.

25-50 mg / day may be helpful to those who have a zinc deficiency. These might include vegetarians and especially vegans. Be sure to take an iron supplement and/or eat iron-rich foods while taking this as, over time, it can cause an iron deficiency. If you take both zinc and iron, take them at different times during the day b./c they can affect each other's absorption.

Pros:

Have taken this for 2 weeks now and have not noticed an improvement. It hasn't made me nauseous in the least, tho. Maybe I should take more than 100mg then...

Cons:

None

Hasn't worked yet.

Pros:

I've been taking 50mg daily, and I began seeing results in about a week. It's been two months and most the hyperpigmentation is gone, and I don't get red, inflamed acne anymore (had mild-mod)

Cons:

I still get clogged pores- so it's not like my skin is flawless. also, if I don't take it right after a meal, I get nausea.

Worth a try for inflamed acne, I still have clogged pores but it's not something that's obvious for anyone other than myself. Also, before when I'd squeeze out a clogged pore, it'd become an angry pimple- not anymore, I guess thanks to zinc's anti-inflammatory properties.

Pros:

IT REALLY DOES WORK! LESS zits and the ones that do come up are very small.

Cons:

you have to remember to take it everyday.

I had been going to dermatologist since i was 13yo. ive tried everything i even went as far as slushing if anyone knows what that is. everything was temp. i got so tired of the chemicals that make your face red and dry and avoiding crowds because of the way i looked. i got on the internet and researched vitamin deficencies and i found where zinc had some research about a antibiotic property it has so i gave it a shot. i now no longer have any chemicals in my house for my acne. i wash my face every morning and every night with regular soap. and i take zinc every day at breakfast. its my miracle drug.

Pros:

clears active acne
no more oily skin

Cons:

must be taken with a meal

zinc is the only thing which has improved my skin (and i've tried so many things). when i take it, my active acne completely clears. i stopped taking it for about 3 days and i started getting spots again. it has also made my skin a lot less oily. I take 4 x 15mg of Chelated Zinc daily, of which 0.75mg of each tablet is Copper.

This stuff works! You have nothing to loose. I saw results after only 2 days. It has made my skin less oily and I have gotten no new zits since taking zinc. Also, it has cleared up some existing acne.

Cons:

Nothing. I have a very sensitive stomach and haven't experienced anything but I do take it with food in my stomach.

BUY THIS!
